LONDON. October I4-As the aims of
the alliance between Germany, Austria
and Italy develop, it becomes more aud
more apparent that it is a de IDLY menace
to Russia. In the official account OF the
Interview between Prince Bismarck and
signor Crispi it is stated the latter said
Italy has every reason to dread the ad
vance of Russia to Constantinople. sWe
cannot allow the Mediterranean to
become Russian lake." he said. These
words were brought out by Prince Bis
marck. who informed Signor Crispi that
the Gar meant TO attack Constantinople at
an early date if the central powers re-
main neutral Prince Bismarck while
declining to pledge such neutrality, has
answered the Russian intriguers by ce-
menting the alliance of the central
powers.
Signor Crispi's phrase about the Medi-
terranean, applies equally to France. He
would debar her from an extension to-
ward Tripoli Or the annexation of Nor
occo.

Advice for Farmers.

Hon. j. L. Gibbs of Minnesota gave the
following sound advice recently TO farm
ers: The successful farmer-not of Min
nesota alone-but of the world, diversi-
fies. He does not put all his eggs into
basket | am aware that in some sections
Of this state money has been made by
growing large fields Of wheat, to the ex-
clusion of all other crops. But this is not
and cannot be made successful except
when large tracts of land are under one
management. The large wheat farms
will soon be numbered among the things
of the past. It cannot be made the home
of the real American farmer 1t is not
farming. Minnesota will reach the high
Water mark of prosperity when her small
farmers shall live in comfortable, tidy
homes. The farmer should always be
getting something ready for market, and
should do a sufficient amount of labor to
carry into effect his well laid plans. But
how can this be done, I am asked. The
answere is easy; Keep stock; the colt
will grow every day, the steer will grow
every day, and butter can be made every
day. | have said it often and | say it now,
that quarter Of section of land here,
properly farmed, will carry as large
stock of horses, cattle and hogs, as the
same amount of land anywhere else. To
the thrifty man, the careful manager, tie
question is what will the land produce?
Our section is q natural grass one. Here
clover, timothy and other grasses thrive
luxuriantly. 1t is needless for me to
speak of the corn crop. What we do in
that line is too we'll known to require
comment. The corn belt is reaching to
the north. But the farmer who would
tax his land to the utmost capacity, must
not forget the root crop and the large
sweet corr that is now grown quite ex-
tensiveiy for fodder. When he learns how
to handle these two crops his success as
stoekman will be assured.
Grow wheat and ship it half around
the world to a market if you will, but do
not make it your leading crop. It will
not pay you to do so. Better look for a
market nearer home, the nearer the better
and raise what it demands.

MONTANA CENTRAL READY.
Col. Dodge Reports that the Track
LAYING will Meet With no De-
lays-The Tunnel Borers
Busy.

HELENA. October 12.-Col. J. I. Dodge,
engineer-in- chief of the ontana Central,
says the grade between here and Great
Falls is being got ready for the steel so
rapidly that there will be no delay Much
work is being done not Immediately ne
cessary. Where the grade had settled 1t
is being raised, rip-rapping Is in progress
and men are busy as bees all along the
line preparing for the arrival of trains.
The grade into town is nearly complete.
As to the Helena depot Col Dodge said
it would not by surprising if the perman-
ent buildings were not erected before
spring. On the Butte division work is
being pushed as rapidly as possible. Last
week forty-nine and one half feet were
made on the north end aud thirty five feet
ON the south. Asked as to the probability
of an overhead line at the Wickes tunnel,
Col. Dodge said it was altogether proha-
bic, and from that glided into some re-
marks as to how much more pleasant 1t
would be if the Northern Pacific and the
Central could get along pleasantly together
coupling with it a reference to the proxl-
nifty of the Boulder Valley road to the
Centrals tunnel route.

sent out by Either for bottle of whisky.

Donahue got into a discussion, and Dona-
hue called Bert an opprobrious name,
Ether returning it in the same language;
he then went into another room and re-
turned with two pistols, one of which he
gave to Donahue, saying, ''Here is re-
volver, now defend yourself" Donahue
took the proffered pistol. when Leach
seized and examined it, and said: s'That
is nice trick, to give man an empty
pistol to defend himself WITH Ether

through and coming out at the back The
ball was a 45-ealiber, and made hole as
| large as a silver dollar After the sheot-
| ing, he went outdoors, and retaining threw

He then came to Silver City, told what he
had done at the saloon, and then got a
horse and went to Provo, where he gave
| himself up. He was afraid if arrested
and taken to Eureka by the constable he
| would be lynched.

SCENE AT THE TRACK.
How the Railroad was Built from

Times at the END of
Track''-A Day with
the Railroad
Builders.


the scene at End of Track is busy one.
To one not accustomed TO such scenes
everything seems 20 be all mixed up, but
after a close watching & perfect system
appears through the apparent chaos.
First thing in the morning the sleeping
workers in the cars are suddenly reused
up by Benson's unearthly Irish cry
enough to wake the dead-then every
thing is stirring, men tumbling-out in all
directions, mule skinners cussing their
teams. and kicking among the men
generally. A grand rush for places at
the mess tables in the dining apartments
of the cars follows. at the cry from the
same musical individual of all on board
every man takes his place and the work
of the day bsgins: The iron car men
start to load the iron on the small iron
cars. The iron car horses stand ready
with their mounted drivers to haul the
iron ahead to where the spikers4are work
ing When a load reaches the end of the
track, it is taken in charge by the iron car
foreman, who, with his gang Of picked
men, drop it loose i'll front of the car. As
soon as pair or one length Of rails is
placed, the car proceeds making its own
road. When the car is empty, it is lifted
on its side and clear of the track to make
way for a fresh one.
The tie teamsters, elegantly termed
"Mule Skinners,' are hauling and dump
ing ties ahead on the grade, where
another force, armed with small pointed
picks, place the ties, being guided by a
line SO that the ties will be even. This
goes On until Benson's cry is again heard
about noon, when general stampede
takes place, men and mules being all on
the dead run for the boarding cars.

During the work D. W. Grant, with a
beeming smile constantly On his humor-
Gus face, is seen constantly
encouraging everyone. fla mule falls or

watching the whole operation, now Civ
ing orders and hurrying up material so
that from the moment work once starts in
the morning until quitting time, every man
is constantly on the jump, but somehow
things go SO pleasantly no one seems to
think after the days work is done that he
has done more than usual and is ready
next morning to go in again as fresh as a
bird. Grant s. Co have beaten the record
this year, once laying miles and 1000
feet, and on another occasion putting in
the astonishing amount of 8 miles and a
quarter. So ymueh track has never been
layed in one season before, the average
being over 100 miles per month of actual
working days.
